If your looking at the A6*** series nice cameras why not get a more featured body and go for the A6600

I have an A6400 and enjoy it very much. I started with the base model A6000, used it for a couple of years, and then switched up to the A6400. Sony lenses can be expensive, but Tamron and Sigma have some selections that are excellent. But Sony is coming out with new lenses on a regular basis so there are many options.

My only reservations about the A6400 are its lack of in-body stabilization and the battery. Stabilization is not a huge issue for me but it would be nice to have it in some situations.

The battery in the A6400 is rather small and if you are going to be shooting a lot then it is a good idea to carry spares. I think the A6600 has a larger capacity battery giving you more shots.

Because of the larger battery, I think the body of the A6600 is slightly larger and a little more ergonomic for those with larger hands.

One disadvantage of the A6600 for me is the lack of a built-in flash. I do not use flash very often but when needed it is handy having one built in. It eliminates the need to carry one in most situations.

Overall the A6400 is an excellent camera and would be a great purchase. However, I would look at the A6600 and see if the battery and stabilization would be worth the extra cost.

Good camera, but for me, it's too small, and vertical grips are hard to find, Sony does not make one for that camera. It is a great travel camera combined with the kit zoom. Produces tack sharp images in the hands of a competent photographer.

I decided against the Sony because just how the buttons and wheels can be accessible. I tried to hold the camera in different ways but I feel my hands are always too big to reach the back wheel. Technically I believe it’s great camera

The refresh rate on the EVF was not fast enough to keep moving subjects in the VF ......8-(

I bought the a6600 2 yrs ago the IBS, and the fact that it took the same battery as my a7III.

The rumor mill says the a7000 is on the way.

What does a BSI sensor do that a FSI sensor cannot do?
I see the difference in Stacked and not but what does BSI actually provide in a superior photo?

Maybe you should start a new post ?

I had the A6500 which has the IBIS, but that smaller battery. Great size and form factor for travel and as a backup camera. I made great shots with it. The A6400 does have excellent focus. I think I would probably opt for the A6600 which has the IBIS and the bigger battery.

Meike makes a vertical grip for the A6400 . I had a similar one for my A6500 and it worked great. Comes with a wireless remote also. Meike also makes one for the A6600.

I have owned the a5000, a6000 and now the a6500. Given the choice between the a6500 and a6400. I would opt for the a6500 for the IBIS. But fast fast focus of the a6600 would be nice. I also own the a9. A9 has has super fast focus and I love it. If I could afford it I would go for the a6600. I am very happy with a6500, Its my travel camera. I'm 70yr old and IBIS helps cut down the hand shake.

I am 71 years old and the A6500 is an excellent camera, loved mine. Sold it and my APS-C lenses to get more fullframe gear, but I do miss that A6500, especially when I am traveling. I have owned A6500, A7RII, A7RIII, A7III, A9, and currently own A7RIV, A1, A7SIII.

1) Loved the in-camera panorama feature in my A6500 and A7RII. Sony took that in-camera feature out in later models sadly.
Here London, England , an A6500 Panorama shot with the Tower Bridge and the Thames River, upstream and downstream in the same shot, captured and processed in-camera.

Cheers and best to you
